Chapter 68 Liu Xun opens the city

Yan Xiang was waiting for Liu Bei outside the door, and at this time, Chen Gong entered the mansion. I saw a person at the door anxiously waiting for someone.

Chen Gong stepped forward and said: In Xia Chen Palace, may I ask who you are?

Yan Xiang said politely: It turned out to be a public platform. I am Yan Xiang under Yuan Shu's account,

Chen Gongdao: It turned out to be Mr. Yan, what is the so-called matter of coming to Xuzhou?

Asked Xuzhou for help, Jingzhou sent 100,000 troops to attack Yuzhou, I have no general in Yuzhou, please Liu Huangshu let General Lu Bu lead the cavalry to rescue.

When Chen Gong heard this, he immediately ran into the main hall, he didn't see anyone, he ran to the back hall, Chen Gong shouted, where is the lord, where is the lord!

Liu Bei came out of the house and said, what happened to the public platform?

Chen Gongdao: We can't aid Yuzhou, our army has just occupied Xuzhou, and its foothold is not stable, so we can't send troops, we should appease the people and recuperate. Then send troops to Qingzhou, now it is not suitable to send troops! You can't grudge with Jingzhou!

But Liu Bei said to Chen Gong: We now have 150,000 men and horses in Xuzhou, and 50,000 of them are cavalry. It can be said that even Cao Cao's cavalry is not afraid, and there are many plains in Yuzhou. If the cavalry galloped on the plains, it was unbeatable. Besides, I said that it was to aid Yuzhou, but we did attack Yuzhou.

Our army attacked Yuzhou from the northeast, but Jingzhou attacked Yuzhou from the southwest, and Yuzhou must be finished. Why can't we just give half of it to us?

When Chen Gong heard this, he was relieved. It turned out that the lord wanted to attack Yuzhou with Jingzhou, so that Yuzhou would definitely have no way to live. Moreover, our army can first promise Yan Xiang, after entering the city, they are defenseless, and we are waiting for work.

Then Liu Bei recruited Yan Xiang to the palace. Said, Mr. Yan, I promised to assist Yuzhou. Go back and get back to your life!

At night, Lü Bu was secretly summoned by Liu Bei Chen Gong to meet him, and told Lü Bu to pretend to aid Yuzhou, and after entering the city, he gave Yan Xiang a counterattack. Occupy the entire north of Yuzhou.

The next day, Lu Bu led 40,000 iron horsemen and rushed to Yuzhou quickly!

The battle situation in Yuzhou. The ancient city has been surrendered! The army is marching to Runan!

And Lu Bu's 40,000 iron horsemen rushed to Mangdang Mountain in Yuzhou, Mangdang Mountain is a fortress, where there are 30,000 soldiers in Yuzhou!

After Lu Bu arrived at Mangdang Mountain, he led his soldiers and horses into the camp. The generals of the Mangdang Mountain camp came to greet Lu Bu. Lu Bu's iron cavalry had already arrived at the door.

The general was just about to give Lu Bu a formal salute to welcome him, but Lu Bu swept the halberd, and the general's head immediately flew out, and when he landed, the general still had a blank expression in his eyes!

Everyone knows that Lu Bu is the god of war, and no general can win Lu Bu alone!

All 30,000 troops did not even say a word, and threw down their weapons one after another. Surrendered!

And Yuan Shu, who was in Ruyang, also learned that Lu Bu had killed the generals of Mangdang Mountain, and led the iron cavalry to attack Runan! And there are 30,000 soldiers who surrendered in Yuzhou!

Yuan Shu was angry, but after the anger was over, I thought about it, what should I do. Yuan Shu shouted, Yan Xiang, please come quickly, I have something to discuss!

And after Yan Xiang heard that Lu Bu had killed the generals and captured 30,000 soldiers from Mangdang Mountain, he went home alone to sort out his finances, and with the property he had accumulated over the years, he had already ridden away.

Yuan Shu was waiting for Yan Xiang to come in the main hall?

Suddenly, the guard reported: My lord, Yan Xiang's house is messy, everything has been turned over, I asked the family of Yan Mansion, and said that Mr. Yan ran away early this morning!

Yuan Shu listened to the guard's words, and sat on the ground all of a sudden, as if he had no backer, and then he laughed loudly, laughing so much that the guard was cold, it can be seen that Yuan Shu's tears never stopped!

And Xu Shu's spies heard that Lu Bu's 40,000 troops had crossed Mangdang Mountain, and after killing the generals, they captured the 40,000 defenders of Mangdang Mountain. This news is very bad for our army!

Then, Xu Shu ordered to march quickly, and after arriving at Runan, we can recover Runan without fighting and directly march to the capital of Ruyang!

And Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to march quickly, much faster than Xu Shu's soldiers. Both of them are racing against time to see who gets to Ruyang County first, who can get Yuzhou in the real sense!

Yuan Shu, after coming to his senses, ordered that all the troops that could be transferred back from all walks of life be transferred to Ruyang to defend the city, and the food in Ruyang City could feed 100,000 troops for a year.

Yuzhou Yuan Shu transferred back to Ruyang County 30,000 soldiers, plus 20,000 soldiers in Ruyang County, a total of 50,000 troops to defend the city.

After Xu Shu arrived in Runan County, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall also drew their bows and crossbows, ready to fight.

Xu Shu shouted: Do you really want to fight? Look at your master, you have already begun to recall all the troops back to Ruyang County, you are only fighting alone. And Yuan Shu has already abandoned you, why do you have to fight for him and surrender the city. I promise that I will not kill a single citizen!

The hand city manager said on the city tower: Xu Junshi, we can open the city gate, but how do you arrange our people and the city guards!

Xu Shu said: You can rest assured, you have no materials now, no food and grass supply, as long as you open the city gate, you are my Jingzhou soldiers and horses, all the material supplies are given by my Jingzhou, and the people can go to Jingzhou. Look good!

Ji Lingdao: Liu Xun, I'm Ji Ling, can you trust me?

The defender of the city is Liu Xun, Liu Xun is a general under Yuan Shu, and it is a good move for Liu Xun to accept Runan County, but unfortunately, Lu Bu attacked in the rear. Liu Xun is a general promoted by Ji Ling all the way. has a special affection for Ji Ling!

Liu Xun saw Ji Lingdao: Wait for the general, I'll open the city gate.

Liu Xun opened the city gate, ran to Ji Ling's side alone, dismounted and said: Runan is full of civil and military forces, follow me into the city!

After the army entered the city, Ji Ling said to Xu Shu: The military advisor will give me Liu Xun. How do I want Liu Xun to be my lieutenant?

Xu Shu said: Okay, all the 20,000 defenders in Runan are still led by Liu Xun. And Liu Xun is giving you the position of deputy general, follow General Ji Ling!

After Liu Xun knelt on the ground to thank him, he was heartbroken, and he could follow the general to gallop on the battlefield together. He had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.

After Xu Shu pacified the people, he left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Runan County, and then the whole army marched to Ruyang County.

At this moment in Ruyang County, Lu Bu has already led 70,000 counties to set up camp in the north of Ruyang County!

And Xu Shu also went to the west of Ruyang County, and the 120,000 army set up camp!

Liu Xun told Xu Shu and said: Now there are 50,000 defenders in Ruyang, and Ruyang City is higher than ordinary cities, and if it is attacked, there may be more casualties!

Ji Lingdao: If we attack strongly, even if Ruyang is taken, and Lu Bu's 70,000 horses may attack us, so we may be swallowed alive by Lu Bu!

Xu Shu said: We don't attack, we just need to stay here!

Ten days at most, Lu Bu will inevitably go.

Why? Liu Xun asked!

Lu Bu's army traveled thousands of miles in a hurry, with little grain and grass, and there were no siege equipment at all, so it was impossible for them to attack the city, and after staying for seven days, their grain and grass were almost exhausted, so they naturally went back.

All the soldiers were nodding.
